I would make a review when i get and finish the game, Simply put id rather do stuff a lot less rushed then this guy is obviously doing.Oh and i think by unimaginitive he expects the archer to upgrade into a giant sea monster or something.

Oh yeah? Try playing the Summoning of a Dragon, the 4th Wizard campaign. See that warrior tomb in the south eastern part of the underground? Observe the ever-lasting romance

I agree with the low grades.This game dosent deserve better.Is a completely messed up game.Nothing to campare against Heroes 3. They add those add ons because they want to make more money.This feautures could be in the first game now in two long temrs expansions.
I also was dissapointed in the fact that this Heroes 5 game thing has gone to far.Heroes 5 is no longer a game of gameplay and balance.Nival decide to swich it to a boring full of bugs and multy pached game that frankly...dose not deserve a grade highter that 6. Toe is not as good as Heroes 3 and never will be.
On the good side...Heroes 5 gives the players what they want.Full candy graphics and un-balanced game.Some of the players like that and it are happy with this HEroes 5. Well...many of us are not. I am somewhere between those two.I keep my word:-Nival makes this to make money.

Minor correction, was messed up. Yes some imbalances are still there but the balance has improved to a satisfying level - not sure about stronghold yet  Nival has done some crappy work and at a slow pace but they have been keeping the game updated since the early release and the game is now more balanced than ever - more than H3 Few bugs remaining and the ultimates case doesn't really matter because they inconvenient for multiplayer anyway.
Check what we had and what we got, the game only improved.
And what did you think, of course it's for money. It's no charity, you work and you get paid. The thing is that they did a decent work for what we paid this time around and they deserve some praise.
I rest my case.

Look at a few of thenullPlayer reviews here. They seem to agree with us.

The Stronghold fits in well with the existing factions and sort of resembles a mash of the Sylvan and Dungeon groups.
Huh, I don't find the Stronghold similar to the Sylvan and Dungeon in any way, shape, or form.

Heroes 3? balanced? Oh so all those problems with conflux getting the grail and necropolis are all lies i guess. And that castle is all people take on rich templates. All the people are totally lying. and that inferno totally sucks.
Your the only one ive heard complain about the balance as a whole in qutie a while. Sure inferno was considered terrible. and dwarves were overpowered. But thats the limit of it. And now inferno has some neat ways to take advantage of its enemys power.
Edit:LOL dungeon and syvlan mash makes me laugh now that you pointed it out. A anti magic faction and one that releis on speed . How similar to the orcs Oh. and have yet to find a player disappointed with Tote. Those who thinks it wont help, yes those who find that since heroes 5 original was bad Tote will be too yes. But none that were actualyl disappointed with it. And your definatly outright disliking it

Heroes3: Expert Earth Magic and Expert Air Magic should just add an "I win" button to the game; the difference is trivial. Heroes3 wasn't balanced at all.
Heroes5 doesn't have such a thing at all.
(As an aside, I love both games ).

The more i read the reviews on gamespot the more i feel convinced theyre a pretty "go with the flow" and "FPS favored" kind of website. They seem to give high scores to the games that people go around saying stuff like "omg goInG tO Be AwEsomE" and less to the ones which people have less interest in, or consider bad.
Or maybe they dont and theyre just using this as a counterbalance for all of those people who say that "gamespot always gives good reviews to improve sales"
Or maybe they just suck.

One thing I forgot to mention: the guy mentions Arantir in his review and says something about having seen him before from Dark Messiah. I guess he never realised either that TotE takes place BEFORE the events of Dark Messiah .

I guess it's quite a long shot to say that.
Anyway, OK, I'm trying to make a distant from this favorite game of mine in order to be able to write my opinion more objectively. I suppose, if someone is really new to the game and have never been exposed to the previous series, maybe s/he wouldn't immediately fall in love with this game. Especially for a type of person who's quite adventurous in trying as many games as possible and would like to play it fast and get over it as soon as it's done (then moving on to try a different game), maybe this game isn't for him/her. It poses various issues to grasp before someone can really play it. You need long hours to pick up a solid learning curve before you can enjoy playing and winning the campaigns. Creatures, skills, strategies, there are just so many complex issues. Just look at a huge number of discussions we have in this forum, I don't think there are other games having a forum with intense discussions such as this one  In this particular case, low rating is perhaps inevitable.
But on the other hand, for someone who has played this game before then confronted with major development in TotE, even if s/he is not the biggest fan of the game, that person will make fun for him/herself with such a review. It should deserve much better rating than 5.5. I just find it unfair if somebody just briefly tested the game then wrongly commented on it like most of you have pointed out. Discrepancies exist between what's written and what's actually on the game (imbalances etc.). Arriving from this angle I've to say that this reviewer lacks of integrity and frankly, is incompetent doing the job.

Hehe. Well learning curve was short in the original version. But you cant really expect them to make 4 extra missions just to get it to be less difficult.

Look what i found about an FPS-
The Good Realistic game mechanics Incredibly challenging Detailed mission design varies between commando exploits and playing spy.
The Bad Overly difficult in spots Artificial aspects of the stealth interface get in the way at times.
Game Details | About Our Rating System
Although the name SMERSH sounds like something out of an old Get Smart! episode, nobody laughed at this counterespionage organization during the Second World War. Translated into English, this acronym means "Death to spies," which pretty much sums up the no-nonsense nature of this precursor to the Soviet Union's dreaded KGB. The game of the same name from Russian developer Haggard Games doesn't mess around either, presenting some of the grittiest stealth action to hit the sneaker genre since Agent 47 first shaved his head. Open-ended mission objectives, smart level design, and extreme difficulty also add to the realism, proving that developers haven't wrung all of the good game ideas out of WWII quite yet.
If there wasnt enough proof this guys an idiot
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/deathtospies/review.html
Even with some missteps, Haggard Games accomplishes a lot with Death to Spies. Deeply difficult and absolutely remorseless, this game isn't for the faint of heart. But it is definitely worth the struggle, as long as you've got the patience to appreciate such a rigorous design.
